While this rest was at first triggered, unsurprisingly, by the pandemic, Furuta has actually used her in season collections in the years considering that as a springboard for a variety of even more speculative imaginative jobs, featuring a movie by Johnny Dufort as well as a craft digital photography collection through Liv Liberg.
